At around the 3 minute mark, the interviewer asks:
“Has the church seized the opportunity to put the Christian message forward?”
To which Rowan Williams, apparently missing the point, answers :
“There’s actually been quite a lot coming from the church in the last 18 months or 2 years on the economic crisis”.
Needless to say, none of what the church has said about the economic crisis had much to do with the Christian message, unless you believe that the Christian message is one of correcting the apparent failings of capitalism by redistributing wealth as prescribed by the dogma of socialism.
It is fortunate for Rowan Williams that his salvation depends on God’s grace and not yours.
Change? If you want to change things join the party in power and change it……..sitting around in tents does nothing.
Why do I get the feeling that His Grace the Archbishop has just about lost his grip on the real world, or else has a severe case of selective hearing?
How’s that working out in North Africa?
